Check_files

[Justice81]

Hi,

trying to check if a file exists

in nsclient this workes for us:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.83.226 -p 5666 -c check_files -a "path=c:/program files/" pattern=CDPConfig.exe "filter=version >= '1.0'" "detail-syntax=%(filename): %(version)" show-all

Trying the same thing with snclient:
filter for version is not possible

---

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.83.226 -p 5666 -c check_files -a "path=c:/program files/" pattern=CDPConfig.exe "top-syntax=%(name)"
gives me:
%(name) |'count'=1;;;0 'size'=251392B;;;0
Seems like the variable ist not recognized. tried it with name filename

---

with show-all (which is not in the official documentation) i get the almost the result that i want
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.83.226 -p 5666 -c check_files -a "path=c:/program files/" pattern=CDPConfig.exe show-all

the %(version) variable is not yet implemented. Pull requests are welcome for this.

If I were a good programmer I would definitely do that

I'm actually more concerned with the output of %(name)
